New Delhi: Granting of
minority status to Jamia Millia Islamia will ensure that the
Muslim community has better access to higher education, chairman
of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes P.L. Punia said
Thursday.
"Granting of minority status to Jamia Millia Islamia is a
significant step in the direction of ensuring greater access by
Muslim community to higher education in the country," Punia said
after meeting Jamia's vice chancellor Najeeb Jung.
"Jamia must ensure that rights of the scheduled castes should
remain protected within the rubric of reservation," added Punia.
The National Commission for Minority Education Institutions (NCMEI)
Feb 22 this year granted 'minority' status to the university,
which will enable it to reserve up to 50 percent seats for Muslim
students.
